Avoiding complete shutdown while not responding

Status: Investigating Submitted by on ‎12-02-2022 05:24 PM

As an user, running JMP since version 9 and upgrading to JMPPRO some years ago, I'm always disapointed to shut down JMP complet while some - possible erroneous - big calculations are done and the programm is not responding and I have the urge to stop the software performing my false commands. A possibility to safe the last modifications in the opened data table would be realy helpful. As the session log was introduced with version 17, I wonder if that might be feasible using this new, wonderful feature. Or to introduce somethimg like a configurable "auto safe" in order not to loos to many modifications/ steps.

I also am very much disappointed that in 2022 (nearly 2023!!) JMP is still single-threaded.  JMP Dev Team -- use multiple threads!!  One thread for GUI + Windows API calls, multiple other threads for performing calculations, including running JSL scripts and such.

Most of the time it's my own code which make the trouble.

Therefore, Autosave before run, is my best friend.

 

Unfortunately, in Application Builder this setting is not used.

Therefore I have to save the application on my own before I try to freeze Jmp with my next programming error ....

@hogi I'm not sure if FileSnapper works with Application Builder but might be worth testing?

 

There is also this wish list item (by me)Script Editor - Add possibility to save script before run to temporary file which could save same headache. I have made suggestion (not with Wish list, maybe I will post those suggestion here too) that Workflow could be automatically (maybe set in Preferences) built on the background and if JMP were to crash user could easily rerun workflow to get back where he/she was (of course this won't work with scripts and only with actions which are recorded in Action Recorder).
